It was a glorious night when we saw David Munnelly and Shane McGowan at Casa Bruti in The Hague. Dermot, was there - an old acquaintance who I went to a few pubs with while living in The Hague, though I never learned his surname. Santi and Marianna were there, dearest of friends much missed these days. And a wheen of other lovers of the finest of music and food, warmth and gezellig-ness. And what a treat to get to talk to David a week later in Utrecht, about gigging, band-leading, tunes, and how he fell in love with The Netherlands.
David's touring with Les Muller, their album is called Middle of Life - and you can find the dates at David's website.
My heartfelt thanks to David for taking the time to share a morning during his tour with me. And to Menno de Meester for his kindness in allowing us to record in the lovely Tivoli Vredenburg complex. Recorded on Friday 26th January, 2024.
